The key to confidence in ophthalmology is a solid grasp of ocular anatomy combined with a systematic approach to the clinical examination. This course is designed specifically for veterinary surgeons to bridge the gap between basic theory and effective case management in general practice. You will begin by refreshing your knowledge of clinically relevant ocular anatomy, providing the foundation necessary to interpret findings during a consultation.
The training guides you through performing an efficient, logical ophthalmic examination to ensure no detail is missed. You will delve into the diagnosis and management of high-frequency presentations, including Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (KCS) and corneal ulceration of varying depths and types. Additionally, the course covers the complexities of managing uveitis and hyphaema in both cats and dogs, teaching you how to stabilise these patients symptomatically while performing a diagnostic workup to establish the underlying aetiology. You will also learn to recognise specific iris changes and provide clear, professional counsel to clients regarding their pet's ocular health.
